## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

Add trait UserDefinedExpression to identify user-defined functions.
UDF can be expensive. In optimizer we may need to avoid executing UDF multiple times.
E.g.
```scala
table.select(UDF as 'a).select('a, ('a + 1) as 'b)
```
If UDF is expensive in this case, optimizer should not collapse the project to
```scala
table.select(UDF as 'a, (UDF+1) as 'b)
```

Currently UDF classes like PythonUDF, HiveGenericUDF are not defined in catalyst.
This PR is to add a new trait to make it easier to identify user-defined functions.

## How was this patch tested?
